Sam Soliman... What if

I think if he wins ,then he has got the exposure, he can drop to middle and make some waves, and maybe win a title.

 

Glad to see someone else who doesn't think Bute is next best thing. I've never been that impressed with him, I don't know if Sam could beat him though. Sam should go back to middle, if Pavlik, Taylor, etc are all coming up, then middle might present some kind of opportunity for Sam.

 

yeah back to middle for him - but even then i cant help thinking that all Sammy has is an ugly style and great conditioning. After watching his fight in the 3rd episode of the contender im really unimpressed. Besides being fit enough to fight 30 rounds he seems to have little power, poor defense and very sloppy punches. He isnt made to bang with the SMW boys, his punches just arent effective enough. The minute someone like Mundine has his style figured out again he will get flogged. I like the guy but i just think he is very mediocre

 

Either Mundine was just that good that night or Sammy needs to go to middle.

 

Sam soliman looked awful in his first fight of the contender.

He should retire. He has had it.

No skill at all.

Was good but now he is just getting hit too many times

 

he he a little from column a and a little from column b PCE.i had a feeling mundine would KO sam put $25 on it @ $4:happy.sam needs to go to middle.

 

He is way too small at 168 to do anything, hell he is a small MW he would probably be a star at 154 which he can easily make.

 

I'd like to see him get a shot at the title at 160 against any of the champs. Taylor/Abraham/Sturm.

But if someone else wins it, I reckon it would be a good fight for Mundine to take on the winner. It will provide exposure and money and a crack at the big time in the U.S.

 

The problem for the contender guys is as I understand it they are locked into promotional agreements for years afterwards and unless I am mistakin those promotors would insist on promoting any matchup they have for that length of time. Essentially therefore any top notch fighters in any division would be attached to other promotional groups and therefore said fights would be stiffled. That applies to Mundine as well. He is not going to fight under any of these guys promotions.
